Because I love you


I told you i'd be back didnt I

I said that we will live in our garden for eternity

yes your thorns gut my skin til I can no longer breath

but its ok it's your arms smothering me in endless love

Because I dont wanna lose sight of you

I inscribed our kiss into a small mirror

it will keep this moment forever

Even when you splatter my blood around like an artist in a room of all white

to you it can be something beautiful I can be something beautiful

Because  I need you I allowed you to burrow into my skin

infest me with your nightmares

as long as your in them i'll be happy

I told you that I could handle your burden

I am your atlas

to see you hold that guilt

watching it leave third degree burns on your shoulds

it hurts me

Because I care

I want you to be my everything

Does it really matter if I get singe in the process

Just your grip alone would make it better

cause the thought of you with him

has been imprinted on my retina

and I cry everytime I see it

Please be the one catch my cradle when it falls

I may not survive the impact that lonliness hands me

Because I love you 

i will give up everything

just don't leave me in this garden alone

it's scary here.
